Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?
Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan's life. Having missed her flight, she's stuck at JFK airport and late to her father's second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon-to-be stepmother Hadley's never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport's cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he's British, and he's sitting in her row.
A long night on the plane passes in the blink of an eye, and Hadley and Oliver lose track of each other in the airport chaos upon arrival. Can fate intervene to bring them together once more?
Quirks of timing play out in this romantic and cinematic novel about family connections, second chances, and first loves. Set over a twenty-four-hour-period, Hadley and Oliver's story will make you believe that true love finds you when you're least expecting it.

I really enjoyed this book. It was on the shorter side, so it was a quick read. It was sweet, the characters were likable, but not perfect, which made them believable. The scene in the airport and on the plane was adorable and I wondered how, after the plane ride was over and they went their separate ways, the author would bring them back again. She did that in a unique way, but when they parted a second time, the book became very predictable. I knew exactly how they would meet the third time. It was practically a neon sign in the middle of the page, which was somewhat disappointing. However, it didn’t distract from the overall enjoyment of the story. And while it was a cute, sweet romance, it also packed a good dose of life lesson in there, as well.
A worthwhile read. I highly recommend it. I’m definitely waiting for Ms. Smith’s next book “This is What Happy Looks Like” releasing later this spring!
